I was reading the doc above CacheAndNetworkInterceptor and I see that it says "An interceptor that emits the response from the cache first, and then emits the response(s) from the network.".
And I wonder, when will the response(s) actually be plural here? When does the network return more than one response when we're just doing a Query and not a Subscription?

[agrosner]

@defer will emit multiple times

[Stylianos Gakis]

Aha, of course! I haven't used that feature myself so I forgot about it ☝️
Are there any other possibilities, or just that? For now at least.

[agrosner]

If the normalized cache changes and you are using “watch” method

[Stylianos Gakis]

Does watch also go through those same interceptors in order to decide what to do? Doesn't that have a more special flow where it decides what to do? Or does it still hit those interceptors somehow, perhaps when it tries itself to hit the network?

But overall I understand that watch returns more than once 😅 I was thinking for a non-watch one, but I guess we covered all the cases by now

[agrosner]

im not entirely sure what you mean. do you mean network http interceptors?

[Stylianos Gakis]

No, like the CacheAndNetworkInterceptor which is what I originally started this question with. So Apollo ones, not okhttp

[agrosner]

Apollo has its own

That’s what I was asking about
